    A well curated festival solely focussing on the hybrid mix of animation and documentary film. Although the festival focuses on a niece, the selection of films is as good as any other animation or documentary film festival.

    I strongly urge anyone that has film that blends animation with reality to submit to AnimaDoc Film Festival!

    An incredibly generous, engaged, thoughtful festival. It is beautifully organised, managing to steer not only a film festival, but also a conference. Passionate about the animated documentary and animation's meaningful links with society and culture, the festival plays a vital role globally in its focus upon the animated documentary form. It was an absolute privilege to participate!
